of all the gin joints in all the towns

fact: people are not created equal to each other. the more i experience, the more i find these things are true:

the most intimate and defining parts of ourselves are either offered up immediately to other people, or kept in secret save for brief serendipitous glimpses.

also this:

sometimes you don't wanna tell the whole world. sometimes you wanna keep it and maybe start getting into all that 'if a tree falls into a forest' stuff. not everyone needs to hear that shit.

people are not all equal.

not everyone gets to hear your song.

that's what makes it so special to the people who do.
